PHILADELPHIA — For most of the first half, it looked like the Orlando Magic’s 119-109 road win over the Philadelphia 76ers Monday was going to be a repeat of their Saturday home loss to the Chicago Bulls.
The defensive intensity was lacking early. They allowed early shotmaking — or the lack of it — to affect their defensive effort. This led to the 76ers taking a game-high 48-27 lead midway through the second quarter.
But the Magic found solutions to their problems against the 76ers at Wells Fargo Center earlier than they did against the Bulls.
